On April 27, 2019 a tragedy occurred on this project, where a tower crane at a nearby building development fell into the roadway during high winds. Our hearts go out to the families that lost loved ones and wish a speedy recovery to those injured. https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/fallen-crane-kills-four-in-south-lake-union-it-was-terrifying/
